Sorry for the emotional response. I agree. But more or less that confirms a point: contributing to Wikipedia became a complex business; thus, the growth predictably stopped.

How on earth can an outsider know that? So, skipping some steps, that leads us to a conclusion that the Wikipedia's grows has stopped by design. Namely, because the administration prefers to have some kind of "Better Britannica" ("better" m

Technically, you cannot make knuth-pbdsl5.Stanford.EDU resolve back to your address. But that is not about the technology. The point is Wikipedia does not have its own fact-extracting workflow, so they are piggybacking on whatever is avai

They evolve into uselessness, as any system does. They already have their own bureaucracy. Once they will introduce their own editorial process, the transformation will be finished. That makes no difference, actually. I believe, that their

It was my first impression after I've bought iPod Touch: you can't do this, you can't do that... and things I am allowed to do (there is a closed list) normally involve paying. I was totally enraged by the concept itself so I returned the t

Marketingwise, well done. Otherwise, there are lots of "v8 standard library" projects out there: k7, v8-juice and many more. Are Node people going to reimplement event-driven MySQL client from scratch or what? Diving into the code...

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away I spent a month to reengineer a billing program. Previously, it needed 24h to issue monthly bills; after the reengineering it finished in under a minute. It was an easy target, the previous guy had
